    What's special

    Waterfront retreatOpen-plan rooms
    Welcome to your dream waterfront retreat in **Madisonville, LA**—where serene views meet small-town charm and everyday convenience. This beautifully sited home offers sweeping vistas over Lake Pontchartrain and the Tchefuncte River, giving you front-row seats to breathtaking sunrises and unforgettable sunsets. Imagine waking up to the soft glow of morning light dancing on the water, then winding down at dusk with pastel skies reflecting off the lake. From your porch or balcony, the water feels close enough to touch—each day framed by tranquillity and beauty. Inside, bright and airy living spaces seamlessly blend with the outdoors. Open-plan rooms spill onto covered terraces or wraparound porches, letting lake breezes drift through large windows. Whether you’re sipping coffee at sunrise or hosting an al fresco evening watch, every moment is elevated by the water’s presence. Madisonville itself is a gem—welcoming, historic, and perfectly walkable. Step in to downtown and you'll find local shops, cafés, live-music venues, and the charming **Lake Pontchartrain Basin Maritime Museum**, home to the annual Wooden Boat Festival and the historic Tchefuncte River Lighthouse. Nearby **Fairview-Riverside State Park** offers trails, boardwalks along the river wetlands, and recreational opportunities just minutes from your door. For nature lovers, Fontainebleau State Park and the Tammany Trace trail system offer hiking, biking, kayaking, and beachside relaxation—or for art and music fans, Mandeville’s lakeside dining and events are only a short drive away. This property is not just a home—it’s a lifestyle. Launch your boat directly from your dock, cast a line in the river, or paddleboard across calm waters anytime. As evening falls, gather with family and friends to watch the golden sunset over the lake, the sky ablaze in shades of coral and lavender. Come live where small-town warmth and waterfront elegance meet. Experience the best of Madisonville’s waterfront living, where every day feels like a vacation.
    What the owner loves about this home
    I absolutely adore this home in Madisonville—it truly feels like a quiet sanctuary. Nestled in a peaceful, family-friendly neighborhood, the streets are calm and tree-lined, offering a sense of privacy and serenity you seldom find these days. Each evening, the sunset transforms the sky into a masterpiece of coral, lavender, and gold over the water—best experienced from your private dock or waterfront porch. With direct lake access via the boat dock, spontaneous outings on Lake Pontchartrain or cruising the Tchefuncte River are effortless. I love casting a line off the dock at dusk—catching fish, enjoying the gentle lapping water, and watching the sunlight fade across the horizon. This home captures the serenity of lakeside living, the joy of water-based recreation, and the charm of small-town community—all in one place.
